FAST CARS, TRANSFERS AND PEOPLE GETTING ROBBED!
What a week!!!!!
Tracting was crazy!!! we were dropped off in the Buenos Aires South mission in some crazy Suburb and told, "Be back here in 5 hours." and drove off. My companioin and I were then standign there wondering what to do next. After walking around for about a half an hour we talked to one person who seemed interested in the church and gave him a pass along card.... that was it for the next four and a half hours. Every person that we talked to would either look at us funny or say that they don't have time to hear our message. So that was pretty awful, but we talked to the one person that wanted to hear from us that day. It was kind of crushing to have a message that we wanted to share but get rejected at every level. But even then I still love being hear and it gives me a reason to get even better with my language.

Elders got robbed!!!!!!!
In the same mission people from my district got robbed, two companionships got money taken from them, the first companionship had some guy high on something walk up to them and just started to pat them down, they said that the experience was just wierd more than anything. The second companionship how ever got some crazy guy with a fake gun, both companionships are fine but it was a total reality check for some. I haven't been that worried, I tower over everyone here and it is kind of funny to be able to walk down the street and see over everyones walls!!! Mom don't worry, everyone that got robbed was shorter than me and none of us want to go home, and I never felt as if I was in any danger at all.

Transfers!
The old group is offically gone! Everyone that was going to Buenos Aires East and West missions have a left and a new group just arrived today, everyone that has arrived looks just like we did when we came. 

I've been thinking alot about the scripture 1 Nefi 3:7 and the importance of it.
I love you all,
Elder Belnap 
PS I accidentally read 3 Nefi 3:7 in class and that was a really funny moment
PPS:  Tracting wasn't the hardest part it was the fact that when we walked down the street everyone would go inside and everyone has fenced in homes
PPPS:  I don't have the proper adapter so I can't charge my camera so no photos this week also you can send packages through some other services just to let you know.

February 5, 2018 Man a week! This week was slow for work but we had a bunch of stuff to do. we had entrovistas  on tuesday , and man I love my mission presidente Calquin. Also we found a perfect family to teach, it was amazing. It started off as trying to find another contact, but then turned into a little message about the Book of Mormon. We came back another day and taught the whole family. The Dad needs to find faith, but man he is so close to finding it. Speaking of which if you guys have a good scripture on faith I would love to hear it. The Mom has amazing faith, when we aasked them to pray about our message she said ´´no, becasue I already know that it is true.´´ I LOVED HEARING THAT. we have beening working more with Gustavo and dudas que el tiene, es no dificil pero es un poco triste, but he is gaining more faith everyday. In funny stories I had a sonagram on my butt (really lower back) at the hospital the other day, it was really funny.  Also we have...

May 8, 2018 This week we have been working hard to try and fill the area before one of us leaves next week. Gustavo is super close to being baptized this week, we have been working super hard to try and get everything in order to help him get to this point but it is all in his hands now. Transfers will be ending in this week and I really don´t really want to leave this area. The dogs that we have in the pension have been fighting recently and it has been super wierd. My spanish is actually pretty good now, my companion said that I talk in spanish when I sleep now.  Mission life has actually been pretty good here, I have learned a lot about faith and most of all perservierance. In this mission it takes 560 contacts, for 80 investigators for 24 of them to go to church, for 5 of them to become members. For us it has been a great motivator for us to give it all we got in  the mission.  I realy love this mission and quite honestly I don´t really want to change areas or ...
